I am feeling pretty good this morning. I weighed in today at 186.5 lbs. I am still so surprised at how easy this is at times. Other times it seems a bit difficult, by giving up all those great tasting foods that everyone else gets to eat. But when I weigh out the pros and cons, the pros win by a mile.
A few days ago I seemed to gain a pound back. But this weekend was very hot and could have been from lots of water and eating a bit late a few days. I guess that's why some people say to weigh only once a week. I'm sorry but I can't help it. I am a scale addict. I have to weigh every day because I feel that I have to be accountable for what I eat in the day.
The past 2 days I have been having my stir fry veggies with tofu and shiritaki noodles for lunch. I really love the way the curry tastes with the whole mixture. Since there is no carbs in this lunch, except for a few in the veggies maybe, I had 4 Josephs cookies 1 day and I had a soda on both days.
Last night for dinner I had a spinach salad with bacon bits and Caesar dressing and some shrimp and broccoli with some alfredo sauce on top. And of course my 2 squares of Lindt 85% dark chocolate.
Thanks for listening. Lots of love to all of my BFC friends. Please leave your comments.
My thought for the day: Everytime I think OK, I'm not gonna loose any more - I surprise myself. The moral to this story is.....NEVER GIVE UP......NEVER QUIT.....
Now I continue to write this blog for you to offer Support, Weight loss tips, and Healthy Recipes.

Some tips if you are having trouble
- First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
- Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
- Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
- Make sure you drink lots of water.
- Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
- Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
- Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
- Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.
I hope this helps.

Weighing everyday is great, but don't let the scale own you. Take the daily weigh-ins in order to derive the weekly average to compare to the previous week's average. See my most recent post on the subject at http://www.facebook.com/#!/topic.php?uid=257615510194&topic=13356
